- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Having reviewed the group's financial forecasts and expected future cash flows and assuming continued support from the parent undertaking, Arcese Trasporti S.p.A., the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources available to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, a period of not less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.”

Significant events
- “The business suffered the negative downward trend of the industrial and automotive businesses which reduced by 15.5% compared to 2024, only partially compensated by the increase of fashion business which increased by 1.5% compared to 2024.”
- “The group has improved the gross profit margin from 38.8% in 2024 to 39.91% in 2025.”
- “The outlook is relatively buoyant for 2026 and beyond as the group continues to strengthen its UK position in the market.”
- “The group's and the company's business means that it is exposed to the risk of its performance being impacted by the worsening of the war in Ukraine. The risk is mitigated through the ongoing financial support of the ultimate parent undertaking Arcese S.p.A.”
